4 THINGS YOU'RE MISSING WITHOUT AN ERP

Everyone knows the main and general benefits of an ERP; from a centralized data center of your business, to the full integration of you business departments, to the energy and money saving advantages.

In the long list of ERP solutions, it will be hard to decide which one to choose, but take note that if your company already Doesn't have an ERP system, you are missing out on the below:

1. Streamline communication in your business: When you have an automated system, your communication process within your departments will be just as in your current business workflow process. So all departments will have one line of communication and understanding of the flow.
2. No manual errors: When all your processes are defined within an ERP, then you can be assured that all reports, workflows, payments, approvals, will all be in the right place and no need for you to worry for careless manual mistakes. 
3. Real analysis of your data and KPIs: When all your workflows are within an ERP, you can get real analysis of your data. For example, you can view how much of a certain product was sold and at what times, or which of your services/products are most popular among who, or have complete supervision of your sales and expense reports. So you can manage with more control. 
4. Scalability: Your business is growing by the second and so should your ERP software. Most ERP solutions are modular and allow you to build and expand. ERP nowadays can be flexible and tailored to your needs.

Why Female Entrepreneurs Are Less Likely To Fail

Why female entrepreneurs are less likely to fail

By Shané Schutte

Due to their risk-averse nature, female entrepreneurs are more likely to set up a successful business, according to new research from Kleinwort Benson and YouGov.

Out of a sample of 500 business leaders, only 11 per cent of female respondents said they had failed in creating a successful firm, compared to 17 per cent of men.

Female entrepreneurs are more likely to be risk-averse and so avoid the pitfalls that can kill a young business, claimed Paul Bentley, Kleinwort Benson’s head of entrepreneurs.

He said in the report: “In our experience, female entrepreneurs tend to position themselves better to create long term value. This is beneficial in two ways. Firstly they often avoid the pitfalls that befall early stage businesses. Secondly, their businesses will have demonstrated a more consistent track record and they will be more attractive to potential acquirers.”

This fact hasn't changed since 2010, whereby data company Beauhurst found that 34 per cent of male entrepreneurs had a business go under, compared to 23 per cent of women. The company attributed the different attitudes towards risk: 50 per cent of male business owners had a risk-confident attitude to business, compared to less than a third of women. It also showed that men were more likely to simultaneously run a number of companies than their counterparts.

This difference in attitude was emphasized by a January 2015 report entitled "Women Leading The Charge Into Entrepreneurship". The report indicated that women take a different route in choosing to start a business as they often have different motivations. It claimed that a woman's approach to business is influenced by socialization from early in their lives, and so is their propensity to taking risks. 

A 2007 study from the Small Business Administration found that male owners are more likely to start a company to make money, and have higher expectations for their ventures. Women are more likely to prioritize making business and personal lives work in harmony. This tendency, the report claimed, often led to higher success rates for female entrepreneurs.

Researchers have started focusing on the relationship between testosterone and excessive risk, trying to evaluate whether groups of men spur each other toward reckless decisions. 

Staying Ahead of the Pack

Staying Ahead of the Pack - How to Stay Ahead in Business Strategy With Comelite IT



Staying ahead of trends, technologies and your competitors can feel pretty daunting. However, there are steps you can take to not only keep up with the change, but also help both yourself and your business win. Here are some strategies to help you get ahead of the pack — if not lap the field. 





Mobilizing the business has become a priority for companies that want to stay ahead of the competition, build customer loyalty and improve efficiency. But building an effective corporate mobile strategy is about much more than technology. Mobilizing companies involves far more than just handing smartphones or tablets to employees. That’s how companies can gain competitive advantage and grow their revenues or significantly reduce their costs, potentially transforming not only their own operations but creating change throughout their industry.

Keeping one step ahead of competitors is a fundamental key to business success. One area where you can shine brighter than the rest is with a web strategy plan designed to ensure your website stands out and delivers. A professional website design firm can conduct concept research through examination of your competitors’ websites and industry leaders. Analysis of keyword usage, social media and other traffic driving mechanisms can be performed, in addition to a thorough evaluation of your current website to pinpoint existing areas of weakness. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) research can also be performed to increase “hits” and build desired awareness about what your business has to offer.

Businesses that plan for growth are more successful than those that are happy to stay still. Use unique marketing solutions to keep up with developments in your sector, follow consumer trends, invest in new technology and have a clear idea of where you want to be in one, three and five years' time.

As you can see, there are some really easy strategies you can implement to help your business stay ahead of the competition. Remember to look to Comelite IT Solutions when you need fast, dependable solutions for new business plans on software and more.
